    includes various questionnaires that could well be worth checking.

    In any relationship, sincerity is more important than ever. It's crucial not only for the partnership's sake, but also for your own inner tranquility. This is a good place to start What to Remember When Using Words of Affirmation in Your Relationship | Calmerry https://calmerry.com/blog/relationships/words-of-affirmation explains more. This type of information, in my opinion, is unique in its own way, and it is something that we all require. For example, it was quite valuable to me!

The power of one - neuron | Brain Health Hacks - 2 views

  • The researchers found that by inducing repetitive high frequency firing of a single neuron they could switch the brain state from slow-wave sleep, to rapid-eye movement sleep.
  • Therefore, judging by these three high profile journal papers, a single neuron can make a difference - one neuron firing can change your sleep state, motor movement, or induce a behavior.

BBC NEWS | Science & Environment | Simulated brain closer to thought - 1 views

  • A detailed simulation of a small region of a brain built molecule by molecule has been constructed and has recreated experimental results from real brains.
  • While many computer simulations have attempted to code in "brain-like" computation or to mimic parts of the nervous systems and brains of a variety of animals, the Blue Brain project was conceived to reverse-engineer mammal brains from real laboratory data and to build up a computer model down to the level of the molecules that make them up.
  • The first phase of the project is now complete; researchers have modeled the neocortical column - a unit of the mammalian brain known as the neocortex which is responsible for higher brain functions and thought.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • "It starts to learn things and starts to remember things. We can actually see when it retrieves a memory, and where they retrieved it from because we can trace back every activity of every molecule, every cell, every connection and see how the memory was formed."
  • "The next phase is beginning with a 'molecularisation' process: we add in all the molecules and biochemical pathways to move toward gene expression and gene networks. We couldn't do that on our first supercomputer."
  • Organised columns of neurons have been simulated molecule by molecule
  • "This is very interesting research and I'm not criticising it, but it doesn't help us in computer science in having the intelligent behaviour of humans replicated." Professor Markram believes that by building up from one neocortical column to the entire neocortex, the ethereal "emergent properties" that characterise human thought will, step by step, make themselves apparent.

Investing in the Developing Brain : The Frontal Cortex - 2 views

  • But there has been one major payoff from our investigations of the brain: an increasing emphasis on educating young children, before they reach kindergarten. Decades of research have demonstrated that the cortex is astonishingly plastic at a young age and that many important traits and habits seem to solidify before the age of 4.
